Plasticity of Till Materials
Plasticity of Till Materials
(OP)
The glacial till showed some cohesion during handling at site with a natural moisture content of about 9%.
When an atterberg limit test was performed the result showed zero,suggesting that the soil is non-plastic.
Could a cohesive soil show a PL of zero? Thank you.

RE: Plasticity of Till Materials
Till often has fines that are essentially rock flour. Such well-graded materials to such fine size can show "cohesion" that may not hold up over time, being mostly related to capillarity.

RE: Plasticity of Till Materials
"Could a cohesive soil show a PI of zero?" and could a liquid limit test be carried out for these tests?
